Patented July 29, 1930 A UNITED STATES PATENT F PHILIP MOSKOVI'IZ AND SOPHIA MosKovI'rz, orzrriinnnnnr nrli, rnriivsirnvanrli l HAIIR- WAVER Application filed June 18, .1929. Seria1.N0. 371,l386.

Our invention relates to a new and useful improvement in hair wavers and particularly to the type of hair waver whichis adapted to produce the waved effect in the hair by 5 retaining dampened hair properly clamped until the hair has dried and set, and without the application of any heat.

For the purpose of illustrating our invention, we have shown in the accompanying drawings forms thereof which are at present preferred by us since they will give in practice satisfactory and reliable results, al- 1 though it is to be understood that the various instrumentalities of which our invention consists can be variously and interchangeably arranged and organizedand that our invention is not limited'tothe precise arrangementand organization of these instrumentahties as herein shown anddescribed.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of our invention in closed position. .Figure 2is a perspective view in open position. Figure 3 is a side view. Figure A is an overhead view. Figure 5 is a cross-section on dotted.

line 55 indicated in Figure' l.

Figure 6' is a perspective view of another form of the invention in closed position. Figure 7 is a perspective view in open posi tion. Figure 8 is a side View. Figure 9 is an overhead view. Figure 1011s a cross-section on dotted line 10-10 indicated in Figure 9. V

Figure 11 is a side view of another form of the invention in closed position showing the elimination of the hinge, with clasps on both ends,instead of a clasp on one end and ahinge on the other end as indicated in the aforementioned drawings of the invention.

Referring to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5,- channel body 1 is longitudinally curved corresponding generally to the curvature of the .side of the head, as shownparticularlyin Figure 3, and also curved transversely to a suitable depth as illustrated especially in T Figure 5. Both sides of channel body 1 have the side edges 2 and 3 turned over to prevent any possible cutting of the hair, since this is where the hair is drawn tightly across. Ends 4: and 6 are tapered to facilitatethe passing of the wavers through the hair.

Connected channelbody 1 at hinge a I double spring wire, member 8 whose free extremity is in the form of clasp 9.

y In. thisembodimentof ourlnventlon the hair is laid-fiat across the entire waver and clasp 9, thereby; depressing 'the hair into a wave. As many .waversas required are set in parallel relation togone another to produce a ser ies ofwaves on theheada Figuresfi, 7, 8,. 9 and 10.illustrate another form of our invention. Channel body 11 has a turned over, perimeter, in lieu ofturned oversides 2- and 3 as shownin lliguresl, 2,

substituted for double spring wire. 8. ,lFigurefl'l represents another-form ofour invention. Bo thends 16fand .of resilient retainer bandlS are free and are both similar in construction to clasp- 15in Figures 6,

7, .8, 9 and 10,:thus eliminating :hinge;

-wire member 8. is then deflected and' fo rced tightly into the channel. body by means of 3,. 4.- and 5. A resilient retainerband 13is for movement into and out of said channel- 1 like body for clamping the said strand of hair to be waved within the said channel-like body, the said double spring wire terminating in a resilient clasp for locking the said double spring wire in its operative position.

2. A hair waver consisting of a channellike body with tapering ends for receiving a strand of hair to be waved, rounded, smooth. non-hair-cutting surfaces formed on the tops of the side walls of the said channel-like body,

a double spring wire hingedly secured to one 7 end of said channel-like bodyfor movement into and out of said channel-like body for clamping the said strand of hair to be waved roe within the said channel-like body, and a resilient clasp carried by the free end of the saiddouble spring wire for locking the said double spring wire in its operative position.

3. A hair waver consisting of a channellike body with tapering ends for receiving a strand of hair to be waved, rounded, smooth, non-hair-outt'ing surfaces formed on the tops of the side Walls of the said channel-like body,- a resilient hair retaining element hingedly secured to one end of the said channel-like body for movement into and out of the said channel-like body for clamping the strand of hair to be waved within the said channel-like body, and a resilient clasp carried by the free end of the said retaining element'for locking the said retaining element in its operative position. ii

4. A hair waver consisting of a channell'ike body with tapering ends for receiving a strand of hair to be aved,'rounded, smooth, non hair-cutting surfaces formedon the tops of thesaid walls of said channel-like body, a'double spring wireffor clamping the said strand of hair within the said channellike body, and resilient clasps formed on the ends of the said double spring wire, the said resilient clasps adapted to cooperate with the ends of the said Channel-like memberto lock the said double spring wire inits operative position. a '7 i 5. A hair waver consisting of afchannel- 'likebody with tapering ends for receiving 'a strand ofhair tobe waved, a res lient halr retaining element for clamping the sald strand of hair within'the said channel-like body, and resilient clasps formed on the ends ofthe said retainingelement, the said resilient 'clasps adapted to cooperate-with the ends of thesaid channel-like member to lock the said resilient member in its operative position.v j f@ PHILIP MOSKOVITZ.
